Navratri 2024: Long-lasting makeup hacks

Navratri is not just about worshipping Maa Durga – along with it, Navratri nights are all about vibrant dance, soul-stirring music, and killer outfits. But let’s be real—nothing can ruin your festive vibe faster than makeup that melts away in the middle of your day.

Well, don’t worry, we’ve got it covered on how to keep your makeup on fleek and looking fresh all night long, no matter how much you dance or jump around.

Skin preparation

First, let’s address skin prep! If your skin feels oily, use a mattifying primer. For individuals with dry skin, a moisturising primer is your greatest friend. Think of primer as the solid base for all your Navratri looks. It sets the tone for your makeup and ensures that it lasts throughout the celebration.

Foundation Fun

Dance like nobody’s watching! But first, you have to make sure that your foundation is all set for the party. Choose lightweight, sweat-proof foundations that will keep up with your movements. Blend it out like a pro and finish with some translucent loose powder to ensure it stays out all night. Remember, a little goes a long way, especially when you’re dancing like crazy!

Oh, and also if you sweat a lot, it’s preferable that you directly opt for concealers; it will give you the exact coverage that you need without making you feel cakey.

Eyes don’t lie

When it comes to your eyes, waterproof products are a MUST. Say goodbye to panda eyes. Stock up on waterproof mascaras and eyeliners that won’t budge even when you’re sweating on the dance floor. Cream eyeshadows are the true MVPs, as they are longer-lasting and more pigmented. Avoid anything glossy because we’re going matte during Navratri!

Matte mania

Now that we are almost there, then prep those lips for a fantastic end! Exfoliate your lips with a light scrub, then apply a moisturising balm. Finish with a matte lipstick that can stand up to your sweaty dance moves and all chaats, and chowmein you are going to hop on. Liquid lipsticks are revolutionary because they last all day and do not transfer.

Pro tip: Want to be sure they stay locked in? Apply a light layer of translucent powder on top.

Get SET go!

Don’t forget to apply setting spray when you’ve finished your look of the day! A decent mist keeps everything fresh and undamaged as you go through the nights of Navratri. If you notice any shine coming through, omit the extra powder. Instead, use blotting papers to do a quick touch-up. Just a dab, and you’re ready to continue dancing without spoiling your appearance!

With these sweat-proof makeup hacks, you will be ready to dance your heart out and slay every Garba and Dandiya night this Navratri.
